TSO LPR, LPQ, and LPRM

You can print reports, documents, and listings completely independent of where the job or process that created them was executed by routing the data sets to a remote host for printing.

The following four TSO TCP/IP commands are provided for remote printing:

LPR

Prints a data set on a remote printer. A variety of options enable you to specify how and where the data set is printed.

LPQ

Lets you query a printer queue on a remote printer. You can query a printer queue for a specific job, a specific user ID, or all the jobs in a remote printer queue.

LPRM

Removes a job from a printer queue on a remote host.

LPRSET

Specifies remote printer and remote host names when they are not specifically included in the Line Print commands.

The LPQ and LPRM commands can only be used against CA Spool managed printer queues.
